The Northern Advance forms a very correct view of the present political situation when it says that it is sur- prising how little interest is taken in the Globe by people just now. A month since two out of_ every three persons who wanted to buy a daily paper asked for the Globe, and sometimes could not get acopy unless very prompt in yell- ing to the news agents or catching the news boy. This eagerness appears to have collapsed latterly, and at present the run is upon The Leader. The sec- ret of this is that the Globe is no longer an opposition paper. Unless its editor can make up his mind to find aaw in the Blake-Scott coalition he will re- quires. good slice of the surplus to" make up fur_the falling off in his sub- scription list. ? The .4d1_2anceis quite right. Acting upon the principle which governs the conduct of the highway-' V men the managing director will soon call upon the new. coalition to stand and delivermoney or its life.

That inconsis- tent and unprincipled journal isnow assilent about these combinations as `though they had, in the estimation oi its managers, nothing iniquitous about them, and as though the` parties to the unholy compact were act- ing most virtuously. Indeed, we ex- pect daily to see coalition defended and applauded in the `columns of that paper, unless, in fact, it may be deem- ed by its proprietor necessary for that paper to go into opposition, in order to prevent its circulation being very seri- ously diminished.

So swears Mr. Wm. Robinson, of Proton. We hold that the three gen- tlemen from whose affidavits we have quoted, do directly and unqualiclely prove that Lewis dad connect the Gov-p ernmeiit with the outrage, did .iictinct- ly and repeatedly announce that they were the prime movers in the matter, and did beyond any manner of doubt admit that while he was particeps criminis, they were its head and front. The question, therefore, lies between Lewis and the government. _ If he told the trttth,they are guilty ;_ if he lied, they are innocent; but it is for them to show that he did so lie, and that can only. be satisfactorily done by institut- - inga Commission of Enquiry,putting the witnesses of Lewis repeated con- fessions into the stand and bringing him face to face with those whom he charged with the greatest crime it is possible for a Government to commit. 2. As to the'plea of improbabili1y-- that Mr. Blake and his colleagues would not be likely to risk their repu- . tation in the hands of Lewis--that cannot hold water for a moment in the face of the aidavits. From the r . events of late days there is nothing improbable or impossible with a Grit _ Government. When` Mr. Blake and `his colleagues inveighed for {our long hours against Coalitions, men said it was highly improbable that they would ever do what they condmned in others ; but how stands that improbability idea , in view of the Coalition of to-day? r The improbability oftheir putting their ` reputation into the hands of a sub f ordinate like Lewis, is not half so __ strong as was the iinprobability of their joining hands with a dyed- in-the-wool Tory,i_f`4yet the latter has came to _pass,a.-fomorz' why not the L former ! We think the improbablity is on the other side. We think it_high- L ly improbablethat a Governmentoicial would dare to deliberately lie away his masters reputation, when he knew that his lies would inevitably reach their ears, and as inevitably result in his jiondign punishment, Lewis has hitherto borne a good character for veracity, and when he stated publicly over and over "again that Mr. Blake . instructed him to threaten the Proton electorsjwith the re-valuation, the inter- ence from his previous record is that he spoke the truth--we must surely believe a man, truthful until! we find. him guilty of ialsehood. It is improb- ablevthata-truthful man like Lewis would lie, and it is very improbable that even aliar would-_lie wlienyhe knew that his sin. must speedily and him out, and when by so lyirighe had nothing to gain, but everything, friends, employment and standing in` society, to lose. ` _ ; .` '.,l helast and main desonee of the- organ is asfollows:- ` Mb 'I'.....:.. ......-- -_ ~- -- -- -' Ems or onosma mms IN THE unkln ` ` POST omen.

The King ei Spain is the donor, and Lord Lisgar, Sir J. A. Macdoneld, Sir George E. Cartier, Judge Coursol and Judge Dou- cet the recipients. The first three are to receive the Order of Knight Conl- mander,of' Isabellathe Catholic. the fourth the Order of Knight of Charles the Third, and the filth the order of Knight of A Isabella the Catholic. The_ particular service tor which the gentlemen named are to receive these distinctions was their prompt action last summer in suppressin the expedi- tion which was being tt outin Mon- treal and Quebec to assist. the rebel- lious Cubans in their attempt to over- throw the authority of Spain. This early recognition of the action, while it shows that King Amedeus is not insen- sible of the importance of the service rendered him, must be gratifying to those who receive the honor.

It is something to`, his sagaeity, however, that not a few -'of the ne wly-elected took a similar stand- point,as the most prudent one in the interests of the . Province at -large. What:Ontario wants is an economical ' and progressive Govern'ment, and if the present political combination carries out its professions there is no doubt it will rally to its support many of those who, like Mr. `Ardagh, wereeleoted to further the interests of their constituents and not thedominance of particular individuals in a Government. _ Ultraism of any kind is obstructive and sub- versive; and to allow this bane of old Canadian politics to obtain ascendancy the Ontario Legislature we should em a deplorable catastrophe.

Lin, , o In Mr. Ardagh, when before "the peo- ple of this North Riding, was not pr)- lio in promises like many others, who appear for the first time `before the Electoral body. He was understood to have very well-dened views. on the land policy of the countrv, not at all in consonance with Mr. Richards, who administered that department, nor`Mr. Sandtield Maodonald, whose dictum was understood to over-rule the per- sonal views of his colleagues. Mr. Ardagh s experience in land matters, by being brought into large contact with Crown settlers, hadtaught him that the general management of the Crown Lands was narrow and exact- ing as regards that class who most of all deservedliberal treatment. In his canvass he pointed out many instances of gross wrong in this County inicted byithe department,'and his efforts to have them righted met with no'suc- oess,and in someinstances with poritive discourtesy; We are pleased, therefore, ` to notice that our member has already taken steps to know what are the in- tentions of the present Government in regard to Free Grants, and the rights of the settler to the timber thereon. In Muskoka, timber licenses have been ' issued on lots located without the rights of the settler being considered. Be- monstrance on the part of the leading men of the district, by deputation, was" not evenirespectiully considered.

Mr. ARDAGH said that he occupied in the House a rather unique position ; he was no body's child, and he was therefore under no obligation to either party, but he was under an obligation to his constituents to do for them what appeared the most judicious for their `welfare. He felt-it his duty to deny the allegation which had been made against him with respect to the lumber- ing interests. He would wait until he would see 4 how the hon. leader. of the Government was likely to lead the House-` He was prepared to give the hon. President of the Council his sup- port as far as itwas consistent with his own views of legislation. In his opinion it was very little di'erence under what name a Government was carried on, so long as it was carried on in consistence with economy and for the welfare of the country. He would be prepared to aid the Government in carrying out any measures which ap- pearedpalculated to promote the wel-` fare of the country. 1.; umg. aisu-iot,,f:_uid7'.u'v\i t_1i on! some Wid {mi -A . jI._.t_l. fziosin.
